THE COURT HOUSE.

The corner store of the Court
House was expected to be laid
about May 20, but it can now hard
ly be done as soon as that, as some
$4,000 brick will have to be laid
before that can be done, and
an unavoidable delay in beginning
the work will make the date of the
laying of the corner stone some
later. Whenever it may be done
however, there should be a cele-
brotion, of some kind. The parish
should turn out, like they do to a
mass meeting only more so, be-
cause the ladies and children
should gather at Tallulah, on that
day and make it an occasion to be
remembered. The stone should be
laid with Masonic ceremonies, and
if there are no Masons in Madison.
some could probably be induced to
come from elsewhere. There GER
tainly ought to he Masonic cere-
monies, and grand blow out.
Who will take the matter in hand?

FOR GOVERNOR.

There has been considerable talk
concerning candidates for Govern
or. and there have been some fairly
loud calls for the press of the State
to come out and name their candl-
date. Some enterprising papers
have gone so far as to declare that
the contest is narrowed down to y
choice between McEnery and
Nichols, and to demand that the
other papers name their choice. In
the opinion of the TIMES, the cor
test has hardly reached that point.
There are several precincts yet to
hear from, and a number of able
gentlemen are already mentioned
for the position.
If, however, it is fact that it is
a question between McEnery and
Nichols, there don't seem to be
any chance. for argument, and the
TINES unhesitatingly declares for
McEnery. He has certainly made
a good Governor. The State is
prosperous; al the parishes are
Dragging on their excellent financial
condition, many levees have been
built, and the State generally is in
good shape. We can easily do
much worse in the way of
Governors, and can hardly hope to
do much better.
"Rather bear those ills we have,
Than fly to others that we know not Of

COES HE WANT IT?

That is, does Mr.. Cleveland
want a denomination a report
has gone broadcast over the coun-
try, TO the effect that Mr.. Cleve-
land has positively stated that he
does not want a denomination, and
will not accept it. The report has
not been denied, at this writing, by
the president but his private Sec
rotary says that he is certain that
Mr.. Cleveland has said no such
thing.
On the strength of this report
numberless gentlemen have been
interviewed as to their opinion on
on the subject of denomination,
whether he could have it if he
wanted it, and if he is the strong st
man, and more of the same kind.
The general opinion is that he can
surely get the nomination, and
also he elected.
Now with all due Difference to
such opinions, the TIMES candidly
believes that he can't get the nom
ination if he wants it, and furtl er,
that he can't be elected if he does
get it. The South has been solid
for a long time; has been solid
when it could hardly be expected
that she should be, but the Valley
State that is for Cleveland deserves
to be overhowed for a thousand
ages. The eastern democracy have
led the Southern democracy by the
nose time after time. We owe
them some gratitude. but we also
owe them q return for some hard
knocks. No help for the Valley
has ever been received from the
eastern States, and as far as can be
discovered none is likely TO be.
=. Mr.. Cleveland can get no support
from the TIMES (Which will doubt
less cause him great worry either
for the nomination, or for election;
nor can any man, however good a
democrat he may be-and Mr.,
Cleveland does not rank high in
that category-if he is not a friend
to the valley. 1t is getting along in
the neighborhood of the time to
bite back. The valley is more i'm.
p, rant to us than presidents OF
even party, and the TINES is il
favor of forming an alliance thai
will do us some good, and to GU
loose from the eastern democrats
if they refuse to give us help where
we need it most.

Mr.. G. Schiff, President of the Q.
&C. Line, was in New Orleans last
Saturday. A representative of the
City Item asked him: "Why was
it, in view of the great opposition
since manifested, that none of the
leading railroad men of the coun-
try took any active measures to
prevent the passage of the Inter
State Commerce Bill ?" Mr.. Schiff
replied "This was not done for
four distinct reasons. First: it was
well known that there was a pop
ular clainor for the enactment of
some such measure and that OPP
position on the part of the roads
would intensity it. Second, the
great gain to the roads that would
result from the discontinuance of
free travel. Third, the gain to the
roads from the commissions here
tofore allowed ticket agents.
Fourth, the cutting off of rebates
on freight of certain class. Here
were four points that would result
in the absolute enhancement of the
revenues Of most of the roads.
This was offset by only one ohiec-
tionable cause, to-wit: the long
and short hauls, and it was thought
that the gains from the others
enumerated would more than bal
ance the loss sustained from the
latter, besides, if the loss proved
too great from the objectionable
rection. il MAS thought that it might
